Conclusion

Séralini’s
study represents one of very few long-term safety studies on a commercialized
genetically modified food crop. It offers rare and critically important
insights into the potential risks of a technology that has impacted the
global food supply. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this research,
not just to an individual research team but to science in the public interest
and to the public at large.

Evidence
has been presented to suggest that retraction of Séralini’s study was wrong,
both ethically and scientifically. The decision to retract was based
on erroneous assumptions and cannot be rationalized on any discernible
scientific grounds. Demonstrably employing double standards to reject a paper
with challenging or unwelcome findings is disingenuous and short-sighted.
Suppressing research into the risks of a technology so critically entwined with
global food safety and security does a disservice not just to the scientific
community but also to future generations.

The authors of this article call upon Dr Hayes to
formally reinstate the Séralini study within the pages of FCT, and to provide a
full public apology to Professor Séralini and his team.
